@Tamara Deering is absolute right about the power of spreadsheets here.

The added power of anonymous land trusts is that these Anonymous Trusts can own LLC's and real estate.

Locating the owner is somewhat easy using the power of Facebook and websites like InstantCheckmate.com to get their current city. 

Look for a mover that also has other stuff listed in their profile, this guy had stuff like power washing, crawlspace clean out etc listed. 

Definitely a lot more power for buyers right now, so take advantage and buy properties you would be happy to own for the long term!

not mentioned and the key to creating a multi door out of an SFR/SFH is getting a locale permit for NN doors which you take to the power and water utilties and get separate utility meters for power and water. 

You also need to check with the utility companies and get cost estimates from them for availability, fees, hookup charges, transformer and power line/power pole locations or relocation requirements, water, sewer, gas, cable etcThis is just a quick high level overview f the process but will give you some things to think about and a good starting point.

We specialize in direct mail, signage, POP, and digital marketing (SEO, social media, email marketing, google analytics). 

You go to the utility company with your purchase agreement and say you need power/water turned on.

It appears that the person talking big game was simply a paper collector that had no real decision-making powers and the folks doing the underwriting Are looking for stuff to create a problem where no problem exist.
